Tonight Fiona Bruce has stepped into the hot seat on Question Time, taking the reins from long-time presenter David Dimbleby, and so far everyone is loving her stick.

The news broadcaster and Antiques Roadshow presenter was announced as David’s replacement on the political programme in December, and while she thought some may not know ‘who the hell’ she is, she’s made quite the impression on viewers of the BBC One show on Thursday evening.

Taking to social media, punters were excited to see a woman helm a show that had been fronted by a man for 25 years.

I’m loving fiona bruce on #questiontime actually forcing the panellists to answer the question that was asked

‘For many years Question Time has been presented by one of my television heroes so I am thrilled and not a little daunted to be stepping into his shoes,’ she said. ‘But it is a programme I have watched for as long as I can remember and have long wanted to be part of. I can’t wait to get started.’

Question Time airs at 10.45pm Thursday on BBC One.
